The three scientists he identified – Seymour Laxon and Katherine Giles, both climate change scientists at University College London, and Tim Boyd of the Scottish Association for marine Science – all died within the space of a few months in early 2013.

Professor Laxon fell down a flight of stairs at a New year’s Eve party at a house in Essex while Dr Giles died when she was in collision with a lorry when cycling to work in London. Dr Boyd is thought to have been struck by lightning while walking in Scotland.

Prof Wadhams [who is Professor of ocean physics at Cambridge University] said that in the weeks after Prof Laxon’s death he believed he was targeted by a lorry which tried to force him off the road. He reported the incident to the police… .
he cited the example of the death of the government’s weapons expert Dr David Kelly. …

Red flag – almost certainly another faked death

His suspicions drew outrage on Saturday from Prof Laxon’s partner, who was also a close friend of Dr Giles. When told what Prof Wadhams had said, Fiona Strawbridge, head of e-Learning at UCL, replied: “Good god. All of this is completely outrageous and very distressing.”
The couple had been staying in a friends’ converted mill in the Essex countryside when her partner fell down the stairs in the early hours of New Year’s Day. He died the next day from head injuries.
“It was very steep stairs and I heard Seymour fall,” said Ms Strawbridge, “It is just completely bonkers [to suggest murder].
“I am sure there are some climate scientists who do get trolled and pursued but Seymour wasn’t one of them. I would have known if anybody had been pursuing him.“Sometimes there are tragic coincidences and you have to accept that.”

I can’t let this droll comment pass

Computer models have shown that, at this rate, everyone will have been assassinated by 2050.

Colleagues have spoken of a feeling of “outrageous unfairness” that two deaths have beset the department in such a short space of time. It was Giles who helped Laxon’s wife, Fiona Strawbridge, organise her husband’s funeral at St Marylebone Crematorium.

[Giles] studied Earth and space science at UCL for her undergraduate degree, after A-levels in design technology, maths and physics at Hertfordshire and Essex High School, her local comprehensive in Bishop’s Stortford, and a period volunteering at the Science Museum in 1998 while she was a student.
Her parents, Robert and Albina who later moved to Ipswich, have spoken of their “tragic loss”.

She didn’t have a boyfriend but had a busy life, practising yoga and helping UCL’s Green Society with events to promote environmental awareness……On New Year’s Day Professor Seymour Laxon, 49, her closest colleague and mentor, died after suffering brain damage in a fall the day before.

The truck driver was not arrested, as if there was immediately no suspicion, which is itself a red flag. A precautionary arrest would be sensible before cellphone or drug tests are done.
The damage to the bicycle also looks staged
it looks like one of the fork blades has been wrenched apart from the other rather than crushed

Here comes the usual “citizen journalist” to be picked up by the MSM…

Robert Niven wrote on Twitter: ‘Just walked passed a harrowing scene on Victoria street where a cyclist has been knocked down and unfortunately have lost their life.

n a statement her parents, Robert and Albina, who are from the Ipswich area, said: “Katharine was a talented scientist responsible for groundbreaking work on global warming.
“Her family are very grateful for all the support and appreciation shown to them over this tragic loss.”

Her death has prompted the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, to call for improved safety measures for cyclists in the capital.
He has suggested that no HGV should be allowed to enter London unless it complies with cycle safety equipment.

I heard today that the UCL Prof Seymour Laxon has died in an accident over the new year. I don’t know the details and to be honest, to me, the “how” is not really that important (*).
* If that sounds insensitive I apologize. To me the “how” is no more important than how my dad died – which I don’t know either. In that case I went to the arctic on a research trip, came back, and my dad was gone. That was all that mattered to me then, and Seymour being now a series of great memories is for me, the same.

Thanks Mark for writing this – I will share it with his friends. Seymour died following falling down a flight of stairs in the early hours of new year’s day following a lovely evening with friends at place he loved. He hit the side of his head leading to massive bleeding in his brain. He died today in hospital in Chelmsford. I have family and friends with me and am trying to support Imogen through this – it’s going to be a long haul. I will let you know the funeral details – anyone who wants info please email me

Parallels with the strange death of Sandy Denny and the less well publicised alleged death of Professor Gudrun Loftus at St John’s College in 2010 in Oxford

They are winding stairs and very steep. It is assumed she lost her balance and fell backwards down them.
Insiders at the university insisted her death was a tragic accident. They believe the lecturer tumbled to the ground after she lost her footing on the stairs.

I had trouble starting this rambling piece, perhaps because I was unwilling to acknowledge that Seymour had left us. Seymour, Fiona and Imogen visited us in Guildford over 22nd/23rd December, and were if anything more upbeat and relaxed than ever, with Imogen excited for Christmas..

In Memory of Seymour Laxon

1963-2013

This is a place where we can remember Seymour. A place where family, friends, colleagues, drinking partners, sparring partners and anyone else he touched or influenced can remember, celebrate or toast him.

Funeral arrangements – details

Seymour was a much loved partner, daddy and friend, a polar professor, space scientist, would-be airline pilot, lego lover, mountain man and proficient plumber. A man with friends all over the world, with a love of life and of living it up.
Also a UCL man to his core.

He was funny, infuriating, great company, irascible, wise, wild, loveable, loving, and softer as a dad than any of us ever thought he could be.

January 4 2013

I had trouble starting this rambling piece, perhaps because I was unwilling to acknowledge that Seymour had left us. Seymour, Fiona and Imogen visited us in Guildford over 22nd/23rd December, and were if anything more upbeat and relaxed than ever, with Imogen excited for Christmas, and much to look forward to for the three of them. I shall not forget the chat over breakfast coffee and croissants and the casual goodbyes that followed, but how could I have known?

Seymour and Fiona are our friends of many years as well as my colleagues. Seymour first pitched up at UCL’s MSSL as an undergraduate student (around 1986) and was given a third year project in radar altimetry of sea ice. It was my job to help him get up and running with software and data handling. At that time Chris Rapley was building up the Remote Sensing Group (as it was then called), and there were a number of ESA studies running to look at applications of radar altimetry over non-ocean surfaces. The late 1980’s saw an influx of PhD students and postdocs including a young Fiona Strawbridge. It seemed pretty obvious to all of us that Seymour and Fiona would somehow end up together, although I recall it was not always so obvious to them at the time…

MSSL in the late ‘80’s was probably the most sociable workplace I have ever worked in. Pretty much all of us remain friends to this day, in a ‘mates’ way not just a ‘colleagues’ way. They were all into outdoor activities such as rock climbing, walking, the arts, non-mainstream music, having a laugh, and going to the pub.

As the data sets started to roll in (SeaSat, GEOSAT, then ERS-½) Seymour found that yes, one could measure the freeboard of sea ice, but it was really tricky. You need to be on top of everything that contributes to the measurement, and you need to compensate for everything that conspires to mess it up. You need a long time series, a firm grasp of error budgets, a common measurement datum across all instruments, in-situ calibration and colleagues to help with algorithm development and the massive amount of data processing. It is precision geodesy. He refined the techniques over the next 25 years. He also discovered that one could ‘see’ the Arctic-ocean gravity anomalies through the sea ice, leading to papers in Science with his US collaborator Doug McAdoo. While all this was going on we found time to go rock climbing in the summer evenings, and of course to the pub. I remember walking one evening with Seymour and Fiona from Guildford to The Godalming Cider House (now closed) along the River Wey taking turns to carry my daughter Amy (now nearly 26!).

I didn’t realize it at the time, but the way that Seymour and that group of people worked was exceptional, in that they were all practical and multi-skilled as well as academically gifted. It was great to see Seymour get his lectureship and progress to Professor in recent times…

Seymour’s mum Veronica used to own a little house in Dryos on the Greek island of Paros..

The suicide scientist meme in the media seems to have appeared roughly the same time as the ‘mysterious’ banker deaths.

Here’s another scientist one from only yesterday:

Rohith Vemula, a second-year research scholar of science, technology and society studies department of University of Hyderabad, was found hanging from the ceiling of a room in New Research Scholars’ hostel on Sunday night.

“I always wanted to be a writer. A writer of science, like Carl Sagan. At last, this is the only letter I am getting to write,” his suicide note said.

‘If you, who is reading this letter can do anything for me, I have to get 7 months of my fellowship, one lakh and seventy five thousand rupees. Please see to it that my family is paid that. I have to give some 40 thousand to Ramji. He never asked them back. But please pay that to him from that.’

Dr Katherine Giles, of Dibdin House, Maida Vale was killed at 8:25am on April 8 last year as she travelled from a meeting to University College London in Bloomsbury, where she was a lecturer.

Coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe, sitting at Westminster Coroner’s Court recorded the 35-year-old as suffering from a traumatic road death after hearing how she was at the junction of Palace Street and Victoria Street near Victoria Station when lorry driver James Matovu turned left into Victoria Street, pulling her bike under the wheels and then crushing her.

CCTV pictures, not shown in court, were said to give a very clear view of the incident and showed how the tipper truck kept its left indicator on after it turned out of a construction site opposite the Cardinal Walk shopping centre and waited at the traffic lights to turn into Victoria Street to drive towards the Houses of Parliament. An audible warning from the lorry was also announcing its left turn.

Dr Giles was seen stopping on the inside front of the truck by witness Charles Lousada, who was cycling behind her. He said: “Everything seemed to happen so slowly. It looked like she was trying to push the bike away from the tipper, then one wheel of the truck made contact with her front wheel and she flipped backwards, then another wheel came in contact with her.

“There was no screaming. I threw my bike onto the floor and ran to the girl. She was motionless on her back, her eyes were open. There was brain exposed and I knew she was dead. Any first aid would not have assisted with the massive head injuries.”

The coroner said Mr Matovu was ‘oblivious’ to the collision and only stopped further up the street when he was flagged down by an off-duty police officer. He then ran back to the scene but Mr Lousada told a member of the public to stop him seeing the horror of the scene.

Dr Giles, who had a first class degree in earth and space sciences and was a leading expert in polar sea ice thinning, was previously described as ‘ready to provide the next generation of leadership in that field’. She was the second out of 14 cyclists killed in London last year, and the first of nine killed by vans or lorries.

Her parents, Robert and Albina Giles, and friends were not at the inquest, although they were aware of it.

I’m not buying this at all. As I said before, there is no way to be in Victoria at this time of the morning if she lives in Maida Vale and works at University College, and who would be having a meeting so early in the morning? It’s absurd.

“IT WAS like being in a horror movie.” Sacha Teulon was still dazed, drawing heavily on a cigarette as she described the carnage
“We were sat just round the corner when we heard the blast. I ran to the pub and it was just a blackened hole. It was like a scene from a zombie movie; people stumbling around, half dazed, some with drinks in their hands, others covered in blood.

“I remember a black policeman ran past me to the pub with tears streaming down his face, shouting at people to get away. He was hysterical. I saw one guy with his leg in shreds. One woman just walked up to me covered in blood. She didn’t know what was going on.

“On the other side of the street opposite the pub was a man lying with his leg in tatters and next to him four people sat on white plastic seats covered in blood, not talking, just in total silence.

“It was surreal. It was mindless. Why would you do this?”

That reads like a crisis actor script. For reference, the suspicious Admiral Duncan anti-gay nail bomb is documented here, alleged to have killed three. Hmmm. Perhaps an uncanny coincidence which leads to another suspicious bombing… have we had a look at this? Very similar to Boston. I digress.

Hamilton fell into [such] a crevasse on Saturday, according to the National Science Foundation. The accident was fatal.

Dr. Hamilton died on White Island in the continent’s Ross Archipelago, according to the University of Maine, in Orono, where he was an associate research professor in the glaciology group at the Climate Change Institute.

. His colleagues said the 100-foot plunge onto hard ice hundreds of feet thick would probably have killed him but that his snowmobile may also have crushed him. His body was hauled out relatively quickly and was returned to his wife and family at their home in Orono, Maine.

Was it really? This is totally unbelievable.

He was particularly concerned about coastal areas of his native Scotland, which he visited regularly, including for his 50th birthday in July, to visit relatives, catch up with his beloved Dark Blues – Dundee Football Club – and nip over to Stornoway to catch a concert by his favourite band, Runrig.

He married Fiona Sorensen, who had been born in Albany, New York state but brought up in England, in the village of Bradford on Avon, west Wiltshire, and they had two sons Martin and Calum.

Although he was immersed in the science of climate change, Gordon also cared deeply about the impact of politics on the climate, and supported candidates who advocated for much needed policy reform. Gordon loved the outdoors, and spent much of his time hiking, biking, skiing, camping, laughing, and spending time with his family and friends. Despite his frequent travels, he loved to come home to his family, cats and close friends.
Gordon will be missed by his wife, Fiona; children, Martin and Calum; his mother and siblings, nieces and nephews, friends and students, and many more.
There will be a private memorial service at the University of Maine. The family requests donations in lieu of flowers. A memorial fund in Dr. Hamilton’s name has been established in the University of Maine Foundation (umainefoundation.org/memorial).

I know that my partner’s own untimely death in January came as a massive shock to Katharine. She had the compassion and inner strength to protect me from her own grief, and was hugely supportive. She must have been reeling but she just stepped up, took on the supervision of Seymour’s PhD students and picked up his research. I was so grateful for the bravery and sense of purpose with which she took on these commitments.
When I heard Katharine had died, one of my first thoughts was, how am I going to tell Seymour? Somehow, the shock had made me forget, for a moment, that he was gone.

Dr Giles had taken on new commitments at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at UCL following the accidental death of her colleague Seymour Laxon earlier this year.
A statement from the head of the earth sciences department, Prof Phil Meredith, said: “Coming so soon after the accidental death of Katharine’s own closest colleague, Seymour Laxon, we are all left with a sense of the outrageous unfairness with which some of our best colleagues have been taken from us.
She graduated with a first-class degree in earth and space sciences from UCL…..”We greatly admired the bravery and sense of purpose with which she took on the many commitments in CPOM following Seymour’s demise, and it was clear that she was ready to provide the next generation of leadership in that field.
“This makes it all the more difficult for us to accept that Katharine won’t now have the opportunity to reach the heights she was sure to achieve.”

Demise, eh?

Much of their research was based on “satellite” data
e.g.https://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press/news-archive/76-news1997/476-pn97-29Modern space technology is helping to reveal Earth’s geological past. In a paper published in the 25 April issue of Science, Dr. Seymour Laxon of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory in Surrey, England and Dr. David McAdoo of the Geosciences Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Maryland, USA have used data from the European Space Agency’s ERS-1 satellite to confirm scientists’ ideas about how Antarctica evolved more than 60 million years ago.

Gta sets. This was supplemented by new instruments including a medium-resolution spectrometer sensitive to both land features and ocean colour. Envisat also carried two atmospheric sensors monitoring trace gases.

The Envisat mission ended on 08 April 2012, following the unexpected loss of contact with the satellite. (See related news from 09 May 2012)

where we note…The Association of British Science Writers (ABSW) award a Dr Katharine Giles science blog prize each year.[18] The prize is funded by the Dr Katharine Giles Fund,

Prof Maria Bitner-Glindzicz’s bike collided with a taxi and a stationary vehicle on St John Street in Clerkenwell, London, on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old died in hospital on Thursday and her next-of-kin have been informed, the Met Police said.

She is believed to be the eighth cyclist to be killed on London’s roads this year.

Prof Bitner-Glindzicz was a clinical geneticist at the children’s hospital as well as working for the Institute of Child Health at University College London (UCL).
uh-oh!
There has been a long running catalogue of cyclist deaths in London, often involving overseas students or workers, often with very shaky narratives, but steering the agenda for better cycling facilities in London, and for reduction in road traffic [with which I have no quibble, except there seem to be more UBER cabs than ever roaming around the capital, clogging up the roads]

The story was widely covered, strange for someone nobody had heard of until then – check
Other hoax markers –
“wonderful woman” [not disputed here, but a long time favourite] – check
55 [good retirement age, often used by stagers of HRDPARs] – check
Hospital not named -check [an alternative for “confirmed dead at the scene”
Family demand privacy at this difficult time [actually requested by Professor Rosalind Smyth, Director of the UCL Institute of Child Health – check
“The Metropolitan Police said….” [that the incident had occurred..proven liars complicit in every hoax carried out in London] – check.

oh oh oh!!! Well I never. How did he acquire that image? Seems like it was used by the Islington Gazette initially –Maria Bitner-Glindzicz pictured at an event hosted by the HSJ trade publication last year.

A huge amount of effort went into validating the CryoSat-2 estimates of sea ice thickness and the paper involved collaboration between scientists from UCL, the European Space Agency, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of Washington, York University, Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Morgan State University and the University of Maryland.
The Polar-5 aircraft flying over one of our validation sites. It tows an instrument that measures ice thickness called an EM bird. It looks like a missile and flies about 10 meters above the ground (the aircraft is only flying at about 200 feet) so when it passes over you it feels like it is going to hit you. Data collected by instrument was used in Seymour’s paper to validate CryoSat’s estimates of ice thickness. (Photo credit Rosie Willatt **) [far right in group photo above]source

** I am also proud …. to have worked at the European Space Agency where I produced X-ray images of astronomical objects.

We now have confirmation that the death of Bitner-Glindzich was staged and fake. Why? Because…
No-one will be prosecuted for the alleged death allegedly caused by a van driver opening a door and forcing Bitner-Glindzich into the path of a taxi.
The un-named driver was due to appear at Highbury Magistrates Court on Friday 19 April 2019. But guess what, the un-named man had died two days previously lol! “It is thought he passed away suddenly in his sleep” [at the tender age of 43]

However, no death [or any other birth or marriage] is recorded for Whytock, in England, since he was Scottish although an Andrew David Whytock was born in Colchester in 1998.
David is in the middle front row here…source Dundee Evening Telegraph, May 7 2014“Dave became an outstanding part-time footballer, and top academic.

“Dave married his school sweetheart Val ***, and combined a brief professional football career with his studies, gaining a PhD.

“They moved to England and Dave entered politics. As an emerging politician, David Whytock was adopted as a Dundee Parliamentary Labour candidate as a relatively young man. Sadly, he did not live to contest an election.

“When driving north on a visit to meet his constituency association, he was killed in a road accident. **

“Dundee lost what would have become a powerful voice in Westminster.

“What might interest Dundee United fans is Dave’s legacy to the club’s goalscoring record.

A curious coincidence.

n 1982, Professor Keith Bowden whose work involved sophisticated military computer simulations, drove his BMW across a duel carriageway and down a railway bank. According to [Author of Open Verdict: an Account of 25 Mysterious Deaths in The Defence Industry, 1990 Tony] Collins, “an accident investigator hired by her (Hilary Bowden, his widow) solicitor says someone removed the new tires on the car at some point before the crash and replaced them with worn-out retreads”. With echoes of Henri Paul, it was claimed later by the police that he had been drinking, but Hilary Bowden said:

“We were very shocked by that because l had been told by a doctor that he had not been drinking, by a policeman he had not been drinking, and by the man who he was with all evening that he had not been drinking. I’ve only that information to go on”.source
The Bowden link above produces this gem…In March [1987], David Sands, a senior scientists working on computer-controlled radar at a Marconi sister company, made a sudden u-turn in his car and crashed at high speed into an empty cafe.

His vehicle was inexplicably loaded up with cans of petrol, causing the car to be completely consumed by a fireball. Sands was only identified with reference to his dental records.

A “brilliant” children’s doctor killed cycling in London began travelling by bike after narrowly avoiding one of the 7/7 terror attacks on the Tube in 2005, her family revealed today.

Professor Maria Bitner-Glindzicz, 55, died of multiple injuries after a delivery driver opened his van door “sharply” without looking — “side-swiping” her or forcing her to swerve into the path of a black taxi, a coroner ruled yesterday.

Her husband, cancer doctor Professor David Miles **, told the Standard she believed it was only because of overcrowding that she had avoided boarding the Piccadilly line train that exploded near Russell Square station, killing 26.

He said: “She reckoned she was extremely close on 7/7 to being on the carriage that had the bomb on it. Since then, she was always cycling.”

And yet another opportunity to show [the only] photo of the 55 year old making her look 20 years younger.

The sudden death [lol!] 43 year old “van driver” was named for the purposes of the inquest as Owen Turner who allegedly opened his door“that caused her to be sucked under the wheels of the cab

Referring to the above photo, we see an ambulance parked next to the drill scene, which is less than half a kilometer from a major hospital. Where could the helicopter have landed? Nowhere.
